Song of the Abyss by Emma Hamm

adventurous dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Characters: Daios and Anya

Daios wants to destroy Alpha and the other underground glass houses the humans live in. He and the others advise a plan to kidnap the generals daughter (Anya) so they try to take down the glass houses.

Anya is miserable living under her father’s thumb, she had become deaf due to an explosion years ago. One day she sees a undine in the pool, she’s curious about him and swims closer to him. Then he starts showing up more frequently and she wants to know more about him.

He gets discovered by the cameras and then her home becomes a prison. She gets to the point where she escapes in the pipes and Daios rescues her.

I really enjoyed this, but not as much as the first book, Daios very much dealt with a lot of guilt from some of his people getting killed on a raid of Beta from the first book, and Anya has been treated horribly by her father for years (even smacking her). It did make me a bit sad, hence why I had to give the book a 4 star instead.
